LAIL makes high quality ceramics with a minimal aesthetic, rooted in traditional craftsmanship with a modern design approach. Durable, versatile, and timeless, these pots are designed to outlive trends and last a lifetime.

Brad honed his craft in North Carolina, South West England, Jingdezhen China, and NYC for over a decade before opening his own shop. His work is informed by the teachings of Leach Pottery, Michael Cardew, and the North Carolina tradition. 

LAIL pottery is hand thrown, trimmed, glazed and fired from Brad's home studio in Catskill, NY. All glazes are formulated and mixed in-house. The pots are fired in a reduction gas kiln, offering a depth of surface quality that electric-fired pieces cannot.

LAIL aims to keep the North Carolina crafting tradition alive while making beautiful, functional pieces that feel good in your hands and bring joy to ordinary moments.
